Councillor’s Discretionary Fund

In accordance with s189 of the Local Government Regulation 2012, the Local Government must ensure a notice about discretionary funds for Councillors within 20 business days if adopting the budget.

• Flinders Shire does not have discretionary funds and therefore there is no report for 2020-2021 for the purpose of allocation as community grants.
